#10 – Airframe vs. Engine Log?

We are finding that many maintenance personnel are recording maintenance performed on thrust reversers, inlets and inlet anti-icing systems, hydraulic pumps, etc. in the engine logbooks. These are airframe items and maintenance performed on them must be recorded in the airframe logbook.

An easy way to determine what goes where is by looking at the respective maintenance or parts manuals. If the maintenance procedures and parts for an item are in the airframe manufacturer's publications, it's an airframe item. Same for the engines. Log it accordingly, please. And pilots - keep an eye on us mechanics. Make sure we record it properly!
